[ EQUITY SYSTEM. ] 




WASHINGTON, D. C. 

SfR : — Heretofore Attorneys have made it a practice to take applications (from Inventors) for 
Patents, without first making a Preliminary Examination of the Records of the Patent Office to 
learn zvliether the invention is patentable; this slioitld be done in EVERY CASE, and so prevent Loss 
of Money to the Inventor * 

Therefore yon are Advised that the folloiving Equitable System has he en adopted in this office : 

A careful examination is made in all cases, when a Sketch, Draiving, or Model of an 
invention, with a short description, is sent, accompanied by a fee of FIVE DOLLARS. If, after making 
tins examination, zae advise an application, we zvill on receipt of the cost of the draiving, prepare 
all the papers and send them to the Inventor for execution, and on their return, accompanied by 
the \st Government Fee ($15.00), we zvill file and diligently prosecute the case. 

No Fee becomes due us until the application is allozved, when our fee {usually about 820.) 
must be paid. 

Should we fail to secure a Patent on any application we advised, by reason of a defective 
examination, we will issue to the Inventor, THREE TRANSFERABLE CERTIFICATES of FIVE 
DOLLARS each, receivable by us on account, in payment for Fee for services due us on the allowance 
of any subsequent application scut us by the inventor, or any one to whom he may have transferred 
the certificates. 

ff the Preliminary Examination shoivs that a Patent cannot be obtained, the Inventor will be 
informed, and the reasons given. Copies of any Patents found which ANTICIPATE THE INVENTION. 
will be furnished (if in print ) on receipt of Fifty Cents for each copy. 

Should the Inventor, notwithstanding an adverse report, insist on making an application, he 

must take ALL THE RISK, and pay our fee IN ADVANCE. 

APPLICATIONS that have been Rejected receive Special Attention from us, and are taken on 
similar terms. The examination fee being, however, from Six to Ten Dollars. We also secure 
Patents in all Foreign Countries [through our Foreign Branch Offices), conduct Infringement Suits, 
Interfering Applications, register Trade Marks, and give Immediate attention to Caveats, - 

If you or any of your friends desire any information, or to transact any business relating 
to Patents, ive shall be pleased to have you call on or write to us.
